Demagio Mansell

At CrossFit Broken Chains, we don’t just build stronger athletes—we build stronger people. This month, we’re proud to celebrate Demagio Mansell  as our July Athlete of the Month.

Demagio joined CFBC in February 2025, stepping into the box with a desire to push past “just being healthier” and take his training to the next level. From day one, he’s embodied what it means to live out the CFBC Bond —consistency, hard work, and a commitment to growth.

Why we chose Demagio: 

His relentless perseverance shows in every workout. Whether it’s tackling heavy lifts in an in-house competition or pushing through intense cardio, Demagio brings focus, drive, and a positive energy that inspires everyone around him.

Proudest CFBC Moment:

“Doing one of the in-house gym competitions and lifting heavier weights than I ever imagined possible.”

Favorite Movements:

Handstand push-ups, the rower, push presses, and split squats.

Biggest Challenge:

“Intense cardio workouts and heavy complexes still push me outside my comfort zone—but that’s where the growth happens.”

How CrossFit Changed His Life:

“CrossFit has completely transformed my life. I’m more mindful of my eating habits, more intentional about rest, and I approach every day with greater discipline and focus. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about building the best version of myself.”

Demagio’s Advice for New Athletes: 

“Dive in wholeheartedly and trust the process. Give it your all every time you step into the gym, but also show yourself grace. Celebrate small wins, be patient with your progress, and remember that every drop of sweat is helping you grow stronger—inside and out.”

What the CFBC Bond Means to Him:

“To me, the CFBC Bond isn’t just a gym pledge—it’s a promise to push past limits, embrace challenges, and live with honor, courage, and commitment. It’s about showing up for myself and for my community every single day.”

Shoutouts:

Demagio credits his growth to CFBC’s amazing coaches—Natalie, Betty, Phil, Nate, and Boa—and the incredible athletes who surround him: Francesca, Yolanda, Dennis, Annette, and many more.

Final Words

Demagio’s journey reminds us all that CrossFit isn’t about being the fastest or the strongest—it’s about showing up, working hard, and becoming the best version of yourself.

We’re proud to have you in the CFBC family, Demagio. Keep inspiring us to chase greatness.
